I was surprised they had so much to say about them. 😂

Thought I'd never see the day. It's like Bill deliberately avoids talking about them

Well concerning Joe & it being an impossible situation and all, wouldn’t it be in Brad’s best interests to protect Joe from being in a situation where he is without a staff as Rookie Coach of a Contending Team…? I’m not sure that we’re allocating responsibility appropriately…! Joe’s the scapegoat for the one who hired him without experience to an impossible situation. Sounds like he was intentionally set up for failure…!!!

Lol

Wait so if Giannas was playin the Harden oh Ben would have a ring? What about swapping James for Jamel Murray this past season Jokic winning thre title ? Y’all gotta stop this

He looks like a good player and hes gonna have a far elevated role. Its not that crazy I mean is there ever really a clear favorite for sixth man of the year going into the season anyway?

​@@Bobbleheads56please, no

Pritchard isn't even the 6th Man on the Celtics

@@Bobbleheads56 Pritchard is the 10th man on the bench lmao the favourites are usually guys like Herro

He didn't say that I believe. He said that Pritchard would be so irrationally confident that he would think that about *himself*. Which is good for the Celtics since he will be playing a lot this season...

Brad (&Zarren) have been awesome from the first week in charge. Adding Horford, White, KP, Jrue are all excellent moves. Punting Kemba, Tristan Thompson, Fournier, Langford, Nesmith has also been excellent. Brad has been the best GM in the NBA for 2yrs now. IME tripped them up last season but this team is poised for a 6yr run with the talent, age and contracts lined up.

Pause

He's so girthy these days

Until playoffs, when teams exploit weaknesses after seeing same thing couple games

@@xavierb9061 I mean, its the playoffs.... teams are trying to exploit one another weaknesses to advance.

@@xavierb9061 ok but we're now talking about a top 4 team the last 2 years that has now gotten rid of or minimized some of their weaknesses.

@@xavierb9061 Good luck with that. They now have a three level scoring center and a PG who plays high level defense while also knocking down shots at a high level. The only real weakness that can be exploited is a possible lack of depth. Because the starters are basically an all-star team.

@@bmcfonzie if jrue could hit shots hed be on bucks. If tatum could beat lebron or stepg levelnplayers hed a ring instead of 5 conference funals

he was very steady actually. steady as in playing selfishly and hogging the ball.

Jrue Holiday is also 33 years old now. These dudes are acting like he's still prime Jrue Holiday lol

@@BaderAaron I mean...I do think he's still pretty much in his prime. The drop may come quick, but he's like a few months older than Dame.

0 consequence? People like you bring it up and slander him every chance they get lol

Literally everyone disqualifies tatum for everythjng because of that finals series. Wtf are you talking about? It gets brought up every time anyone talks about him

Everyone talks about that. That golden state team was shit they should’ve smoked them

@@zbt62 that team was not shit lol that tells me you don’t know what you’re watching on the court

@@AullThatTv the person clearly said 0 consequences pertaining to the media, random youtube comments aren't the media.

Raps will win 50 games this season…

@@P-DAPS lmao

The issue is that the Celtics effectively traded four of their top eight guys, and got only two back. You mentioned Smart, but the Celtics also traded Brogdon, and only got Holliday to replace the two at PG. You can look at it similarly for Porzingis replacing Rob and Grant. That's why the health of those remaining is more important than it was when their depth was better. Maybe you think Pritchard/Hauser/Kornet/etc. will step up this season to fill the void, but the Celtics only have six guys with real playoff experience the way it stands now, so you can't take it for granted.

@@bmcfonzieSure, and that's true, but that's NOT why most people keep blathering about K's health as if it's 2018. They're not analyzing it on that level, not even close. It's just an easy punchline. And KP (and Holiday) is not actually replacing an amalgam of those guys, not in reality (and Grant was gone regardless of these trades. This is obvious). They are representing a capability, on court, that no combo of those guys produced. I agree--I think they need KP to be healthy for about 60-65 games this season, and obviously in the playoffs. My point is, that's not so tall an order as people are making it out to be.

You don't think the Celtics are a good team? Do you say this when they talk about Jokic or Lebron too? F outta here

Ryen "but it's a golf cart" rusillo

He will be broken again by Christmas

He will blame Mazzulla for any & all Porzingus shortcomings

They do it every year. He refrenced last year a couple times.

Y'all still needs somebody at the C position because if they face the Bucks in ECF. Giannis gonna have a field day against that team

@@pinbarbecue1100the primary Giannis defender is still on the team Al Horford do you guys even watch the games?

@Averagedre but he old tho. Giannis going dominate inside all day. Dame Dolla hitting three all night. That pick and roll gonna be lethal🔥🔥🔥🔥

@@pinbarbecue1100 Al’s been old for the past 3 or 4 years my guy lmao and Dame will also have D white or Jrue checking him but the main question is that many buck fans seem to never ask them selves who is stopping the Jays last year they avg 71 combined on the bucks head and that was with Jrue checking them sometimes now its pat connaton and Dame????? what shaq always say? BBQ chicken baby

@Averagedre They are not consistent in the postseason tho. See what happens at the Miami couple months ago or last yr when they play the Warriors in the Finals 👀

He swung the Lakers series vs GS with his defense/flopping on Curry

The NBA is 78 years old and the Celtics have won 17 titles.. so quantifying the organization’s success in just 35 years is pure idiotic but yeah whatever floats your boat..

Philly are worse, Miami are worse, Wizards are worse, Raptors are worse, The Nets are much worse, The Pistons still fucking suck, The Bulls made no moves and the Hornets are a mess. The other young teams will be better but none are ready for that big step up. Outside of the Bucks and Celtics, You have only 4 above average teams being the Heat, Hawks, Knicks and Cavs. Knicks are the same, Cavs have the worst coach in the league. The Hawks could be pretty good this year. Overall they have gotten much worse relative to the West, where literally every team has pretty good upside.

I hear you, but Rob was never healthy and it just got worse after 2022. He would have only been able to play 20-25 minutes in the playoffs, if healthy, and is actually more injury prone than Porzingis now, in my opinion. Rob also couldn't shoot. Porzingis opens up the low post option and can stretch the floor better than Horford. He also hasn't ever played on a good defense in which he doesn't have to play under the rim constantly and there's a chance he might be entering his prime. We may see the best season of his career during year one in Boston. As far as the Bucks are concerned, you might be right, but Milwaukee's perimeter defense, outside of Giannis and maybe Crowder at times, is going to be very vulnerable, once again in my opinion. They might end up winning a lot of close, high scoring games against quality teams this season, but if healthy, I would still take Boston over the Bucks in the playoffs because I think the Milwaukee is legitimately going to have more defensive concerns in that series than the Celtics are. Just my two cents.

Rob was a horrible matchup against the Bucks, and he's always injured anyway. I think the Celtics would easily beat Milwaukee in a 7 game series, my question mark for Boston will always be versus Miami or Denver in the finals.

Celtics fans will hate porzingus by the end of the season

I was shocked Horford is still functioning at his size and age. This all rests on an injury-prone 7'3" guy. Rob Williams was the ultimate Celtics stopper: his knee blocked the Cs from at least one ring.

i agree celtics are banking title hopes on porzingis adding what they are missing and its a big risk because jrue is basically the same as smart was no better no worse lol

yea media does this thing where every time jaylen brown has a bad game or series, he's the worst player in the world, but tatum can literally throw playoff games to his opponent and we're told he's an mvp candidate. brown is way better in the playoffs than the media gives him credit for, and he's definitely better than mikal until we see he isn't

@@TheRulersBack18 agreed it’s almost like they forgot Tatum was the reason we didn’t win the chip a few years ago lol

Hes a idiot bro, literally cant take him serious

@@TheKidFresh22 media crowned him the moment he dunked on lebron, so they can never acknowledge when he fucks up

@@TheRulersBack18 Pretty sure Tatum got killed for his performance in the 22 finals while Brown avoided all criticism when he barely played better. Tatum was only 23 years old that season.

Or Butler

I mean wtf has KD or LeBron done at those ages tho?

its a team game, goof!

@@ronaldlaperle6753 exactly, and he has a better team than anything kd and bron had up till 26 and still manages to lose to inferior teams like the heat

Tatum walked the Sixers down from a 3-1 deficit and ended up hurt on the very first play of game 7, with an injured center and 6th man. They shouldn't have gone down, sure, but let's not act like he just choked.

well they signed Schroder for 12 mill and Fred got 40 mill so I think Raptors did okay lol

Why would the Bulls do that?

Because they are chauvinists and don't really know anything about basketball.

In this starting five. Holiday will not have to score unless no one else has it going. And sometimes JB will not have a great night and KP can step up. So at least a third option on most nights. And as he has said himself. It helps to be on a winning team. I understand why he didn't like the situation in Dallas. Luka never stops hogging the ball and he was relegated to standing in the corner as a spot up shooter. In this offence, at least in the preseason, the ball moves around and he is sometimes featured in it.

This is wayyy different than Dallas. His role was literally “sit in the corner and wait for Luka to pass the ball”. He actually is involved in the offense with Boston. The health is always gonna be an issue. But offensively he will absolutely help them

Have you watched any of his role so far? He almost never standing in the corner. He's setting screens and rolling or getting wide open shots

Boston's offense is completely different than Dallas's. Boston actually moves the ball, whereas everyone just stands and watches Luka dribble for 20 seconds. Not the same at all.

Couldn’t be more wrong I fear

Facts. Reigning MVP and now 4th favourite to win. In his prime.

@@shey.laplanche if jokic wins there's gonna be a bunch of talk about how jokic should be a 4 time straight mvp and they're gonna pity him for this 3rd one

Delusional about what? That they're better this year than in the past couple of years when they've been at least a top 4 team? The spacing and shooting threats around Jrue in Boston should make it easier for him offensively compared to Milwaukee. They don't want Porzingis to just stand in the corner. Stagnant offense while watching Tatum and Brown drive a set defense is not what they want. An involved and mobile White, Holiday, and Porzingis is what's needed.

@@williamharris7849 If Jrue’s offense drops in the playoffs as it does basically every year, you’re really not any better than last year’s roster. And that’s even IF you have a committed Porzingis.

@@williamharris7849 The main thing to improve you is just more burn for Derrick White, but that was something available to your previous roster as well, and frankly I really like Brogdon’s offense. Grant , Timelord, these guys who are willing hustle/defense-first guys and happy to do that for the team, that’s gone too.

@@Cotswolds1913 Jrue was asked to do way too much, especially last year due to the injuries. That shouldn't be a problem in Boston. And as for Porzingis buying in, a lot of guys tend to buy in when they come to Boston(don't mention Kyrie).

@@Cotswolds1913 Grant was really not that good of a defender. Couldn't stay in front of anybody. A healthy Timelord is someone to miss but we never really had that. Brogden can fit anywhere and will be missed too but guys who deserve starters minutes somewhere tend to not ride the bench for years on end.

Lol, embiid is hated amongst fans and media. Sometimes, for good reason, because he's soft mentally. But he's definitely one of the most overly hated and disrespected superstars I've ever witnessed in professional sports

I was listening to Bill last year, and well before that, but he was dogging Marcus Smart before he was dealt.

Fair enough. He acts like Derrick White is MJ though. @@Chalk89

@@davidburke2453 White led all guards in blocks last year and was All-Defense. He was the C's best defender last year

Someone needs to tell him to shave his head. He is a decent player. @@Br4dSp34d

And what is your favorite team and what have they done

And Jordan, the greastest player of all time, didn't make his first finals until year 7, what is your point?

You could say the same about Lebron 6 years in.

You need to at least try. Embiid can try, Giannis can try, Mobley can try-I don’t know who can try on the Celtics team

Joker is that good not too many people in the league can guard him at all but one guy dont usually beat you as a team.. and they have some matchup problems with the Celtics too

Nobody can guard Joker except maybe Anthony Davis and that is if Davis is even playing. Davis is very injury prone

@@tjk9263 respectively disagree Joker can do whatever he wants all over the court Davis can't defend all over the court..

I think a more versatile Defender has the best chance with the Joker even if he's losing a little height in the deal

Yours too! It's a bona fide social phenomenon.
